I did a download from Cnet and along with it came a bunch of adware wanting to scan my pc, and also changed my internet explorer homepage from bing to http://search.conduit.com/?SearchSource=10&CUI=UN29481246411865222&UM=2&ctid=CT3287822  I just installed

Security Essentials two days ago after using AVG free for many years. This is the second time this has happened from Cnet. Anyway I have tried to remove this in control panel, the browser internet options I have disabled the addons  that are associated with

it. Disabled the services, gone into my computer and deleted the program files. When I turn on my computer this morning a warning tells me that windows genuine  advantage has been changed. and security essentials said i needed to run a validation check. What

do I do?
